Re: [android-developers] Re: options menu items
No, you cannot adjust the theme or layout of the default options menu (see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4441). However, you can intercept the "Menu" button press and draw your own menu... On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 4:25 PM, Robert Nekic wrote: > I was about to start looking into this, too.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to run android application from super user(administrator) mode
Are you using a rooted phone?
Elevated privileges will be refused on a stock build. I'm not sure
what the actual effect will be. I would expect a SecurityException,
but it's possible that the "su" program is simply not visible to
user-space processes.
Also, you are not specifying the full path to the su program, I doubt
it will be included in your PATH.
What is it you're trying to achieve? That code looks very vulnerable
to attacks...

Re: [android-developers] Standard Android Music Player
Accroding to a comment in the OpenIntents site
(http://www.openintents.org/en/node/112), this should work:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/song.mp3");
String type = "audio/mp3";
intent.setDataAndType(data, type);
startActivity(intent);
Haven't tested it though.

Re: [android-developers] Re: problems using SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK
You need this permission: Be sure to have a read up on the permissions framework, it's pretty fundamental to Android development. http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/security/security.html#permissions SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK does not dim the screen. It prevents the screen from automatically turning off (hence the "wake lock" bit), whilst still allowing the backlight to turn off. The developer docs describe the command as a "Wake lock that ensures that the screen is on (but may be dimmed); the keyboard backlight will be allowed to go off." It sounds like what you really want is to manipulate the screen brightness in the system settings. I haven't done this before, but you could try something like: Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, 10); Take a look at the manual for more info... http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 3:35 PM, guich wrote: > Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Multitouch seems badly broken on Nexus One 2.1-update1
I think what Dianne is saying is that the values you are seeing are what is raw data returned from the sensor, it's not normalised for multi-touch games, or for any particular purpose. My understanding is that the values returned have different coordinate spaces, and have a tendency to "jump" about when used directly (I suspect this second issue is more an artefact of the device-specific screen sensitivity, dents, scratches and the impact of screen protectors). Take a look at Luke Hutchison's multi-touch controller, it might provide a suitable wrapper for your requirements: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2010/01/06/my-multi-touch-code-ported-to-eclair/ On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 8:39 AM, Kevin Duffey wrote: > Ugh..sorry..

Re: [android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
Well, the two things I can tell you about it is: 1) They show exactly how they did it by giving you the source code. 2) They don't show you how to programatically send "Menu" or "End Call" button presses, because it is not possible to simulate those buttons (as Mark stated already). Those hardware buttons are restricted to application developers, you can't simulate them. You also can't end *any* active call from your app, which is what the "End Call" button obviously does. The one thing you can do is make your options menu appear without requiring the menu button (I've not tested this): http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/7c04ceb0baf32750/49df915f430d8f84?lnk=st&q=#49df915f430d8f84 But this does not involve simulating key presses.

Re: [android-developers] Re: programatically press a button
The back button is fine, but you can't simulate the exact behaviour of the home button. For example, bringing up the recent apps menu when long pressing it.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Appwidget with fast updating needed ...
I was puzzling over this one, but I agree that a new home screen is a good idea. It will give you the flexibility you need to display custom views, at a suitable refresh rate. You will, however, have to deal with all the resource consumption issues that go with it. A 5fps update on the home screen is likely to drain the battery pretty badly when the phone is idle.

Good point Mark. It would take a little forward thinking, but then again so would an app widget, if it were possible. Another option might be to implement a live wallpaper with the measurement gauges you want to display. The advantages would be that you wouldn't need to replace the whole home screen to draw, and I think it would also lend well to the resource consumption problem (live wallpapers stop all activity when the home screen is no longer in focus). But there are a number of drawbacks I can think for too: 1) The gauges would be drawn behind the other home screen furniture, and might be obscured by icons etc. 2) I don't think you can use native controls, you would have to draw the display on a canvas. 3) There is less support for live wallpapers on existing Android handsets, compared to support for app widgets and custom home screens.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Multitouch seems badly broken on Nexus One 2.1-update1
It doesn't seem as good because it isn't as good. Have you looked at the supported gestures page I linked you to? http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/gestures/touchpad All of the gestures that the screen used by the Nexus One claims to support would not be affected by the issues you describe. You can pinch, press (1 or 2 fingers), tap, flick and "pivot rotate" (this is a 90 degree rotation gesture, see the link for more info). I can't speak for the Droid, because there doesn't seem to be any information about its hardware components, but they may have re-used the Synaptics touch interface driver to maintain a consistent feel with existing phones on the market (http://www.synaptics.com/about/press/press-releases/synaptics-provides-touch-interface-driver-android-software-development-ki). Ultimately, you need to remember that you are developing for a device agnostic platform, unlike the iPhone. There are budget touch screens in the wild as well as expensive ones. Don't consider just the Droid and Nexus One, consider the Dream and Tattoo as well. These sensitive gestures that you're striving for will simply not work on these devices.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Multitouch seems badly broken on Nexus One 2.1-update1
> So Sean, your answer to that is simply : Don't use multitouch at > all !! No. My point was that you shouldn't rely on the touch screen for complex gestures (particularly multi-touch). Otherwise your game will be useless to anyone with a handset that doesn't support dual/multi touch, or has characteristics that make the gestures less precise (like having a smaller screen). By all means use multi-touch gestures, but ensure that the gestures are simple and provide alternative methods of user input where necessary. Perhaps I was making some assumptions, there may be games developers out there who only want to support a handful of devices - particularly the high-end spec ones, and have no interest in the mid/low budget ones aimed for the mass market. > Come on Google, give us a way to compete against the iphone as a > gaming platform :s Google?! Don't you mean Motorola / HTC / Samsung / Sony / etc? I have a wide range of rich highly immersive games on my Android device now, compared to the limited number there were last year. Just because certain multi-touch gestures are not possible on many of the handsets does not mean it is not providing a competitive gaming platform to the iPhone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] How to disable the Android device (android.permission.BRICK?)
I dont think I fully understand your question... Are you looking for something in the public API that will render a user's Android device useless for a period of time? Just how far do you expect this "bricking" to go? Will they still be able to use their phone for other purposes, e.g. making emergency calls? If you're looking for your app to be invasive to the user, you're unlikely to find it in the public API. Perhaps take a look at how the various lock screen apps work.

Re: [android-developers] Any interest in accessing our app via intents?
Hey Al, The service looks very cool. I guess the problem that I have is figuring out a real world use for it... Obviously I wouldn't expect you to do my thinking for me :) But what would be REALLY useful is if you could post up a few fictitious (or even real life) use cases, perhaps on the site, to showcase the potential of the platform (similar to the ones in here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BulletProofX). The format doesn't really matter, but example scenarios are what really get people excited about this kind of technology... Personally, I've found example use cases very useful when determining where a technology might be of use to me. Just an idea anyway. With regard to the intents survey: I always prefer if intents are provided, if for no other reason than they help make the intent framework more powerful. At present I personally have no immediate requirement for an intent API though.

Re: [android-developers] Re: HTML parsing with JAVA
I have have good results with Jericho (http://jericho.htmlparser.net),
it works very efficiently in Android, and has a pretty comprehensive
API. There are examples on the site, but to give you an idea of the
syntax:
Source source = new Source(new URL("www.google.co.uk"));
List linkElements = source.getAllElements(HTMLElementName.A);
for (Element linkElement : linkElements) {
String href = linkElement.getAttributeValue("href");
if (href != null) {
System.out.println(href);
}
}
To add third-party libraries into an Android project, you don't link
them like you would in Java - you have to extract them into your
project. See here:

Re: [android-developers] Making sure activity is alive to receive Intent?
There are better ways of handling this. The purpose of an Intent is to atomically request that an action is performed (and optionally retrieve the result of that action), not to continue a discussion with the activity throughout it's continued lifetime. There are a number of ways to do what you want, if both the calling and callee activities are in the same app (just a startActivity() type call), you could use shared preferences: http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/01/android-basics-managing-activity-states-part-ii/ If the activities are in different apps, you should use a content provider to handle the IPC: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html Either approach will allow you to share the state data between your activities.

TreKing is right, please don't use System.exit - use Activity.finish().
If you have multiple activities to close, use startActivityForResult()
and pass back a "close now" flag so you know to call finish() on the
parent activity as well.

Re: [android-developers] Re: No View key event called back when BACK key is pressed while IME is shown?
I believe the back button event is intercepted by the keyboard app, so it knows to hide. Once focus is returned to your app, the event has already been processed. I'm not aware of any way to intercept the events of another app (like the soft keyboard). You could write your own keyboard app that passes the back button event as an intent, but I imagine that's not the solution you are looking for. If the endBatchEdit() method is working for you, I would stick with it. Alternatively, you might want to re-think your approach to this problem, as there are lots of soft keyboard apps out there and there is a chance they won't all play nice with your custom integration...

Hi Tom, No, it didn't. You'll need to order one up and use the USB lead to charge it in the meantime.

Re: [android-developers] Ant vs Eclipse build difference
Your team member was using the Java 6 JDK. The @XmlSeeAlso annotation is not available in the Java 5 SDK: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSeeAlso.html I've seen this happen a lot. You need to either switch to JDK6 to build your app, or find an JDK5 compatible alternative for the jar that requires XmlSeeAlso (at a wild guess, I presume it's a web services client library?).

There is also the question of whether Google are the ideal company to produce such a framework. Microsoft have invested a lot in DirectX and their XBox projects, they have the experience and the partners to make it work. What experience do Google have in the games industry? Personally I think they are stretching themselves enough with their shoulder barging into the mobile market, without trying to dive into the centre of the extremely competitive games market. Having said that, the Android platform does need to compete in this field. This seems like the perfect opportunity for a start-up, or an established games development company, to build a native framework and contribute it upstream. Mario's library might be a good starting point for this - as well as a technical evaluation of the other libraries/engines out there (such as Rokon by StickyCoding). The way to move forward would be to actively pursue a solution though, rather than mull around the topic passing notes to Google like we were in the Peoples' Front of Judea. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Big difficult to develop in Android :( (I'm italian)
I agree with Fred, explain what problems you are having. Don't just say something vague like "I'm finding it difficult", we need to know exactly what things you are finding difficult to help you. The SDK docs are actually very comprehensive, but you need to use the tutorials to learn Android. Check out the on-line tutorials: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html. Or alternatively buy a book on Android development, there are a lot of good ones available these days. On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 7:23 PM, massimo wrote: > Hi, > I'm italian boy.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How get SIM number
The getLine1Number() method in TelephonyManager retrieves the data in the "phone number" stored on the SIM card (NOT the phone number bound to the user's account) - this is often either wrong or non-existent, depending on the network provider it was shipped from. For example, UK Vodafone appear to never populate this field on their SIM cards (someone might prove me wrong here, but I've had a lot of user feedback from my "What's My Number?" app confirming this). Also, people who transfer their numbers will still have the old number that was originally shipped with their SIM card stored in that field, it is never updated. The only solution I can offer you is to ask the user for their phone number, and provide the number in the SIM card as a default value if it is available. Never expect the number to be present or correct though. If you find a better solution I would be very interested to hear it, but I don't think that solution will come from the SIM card. Check out the source code for my app if you want to see how this can be done for an appwidget: http://github.com/seanhodges/Whats-My-Number.

Re: [android-developers] decoder->decode returned false
I assume you are trying to The image decoder library (called Skia) is failing to parse the image data for those images. There are a number of things that can cause this problem: 1) The input file is not actually an image (e.g. if it is accessed from the Web, it might actually be a 404 error page) 2) The image has corrupted during the download. It could be that the image was always corrupted, or that it did not download properly. See this link for some hints: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1630258/android-problem-bug-with-threadsafeclientconnmanager-downloading-images 3) You are not completely downloading the image - this often happens if you use an InputStream and don't call close() to flush the remaining data out of the stream. 4) A bug in Skia, which is not uncommon (though the above 3 are more likely). Try copying the images that you download to the SD card and opening them on your development machine. If they aren't corrupted, then check your source code for unclosed streams or lack of data buffering. If you still have the problem, post up your source code so we can see what it is you're actually trying to do.

The HTC Hero does support debugging. I would opt for the HTC Hero as it is better supported by its vendor and the firmware is more recent.

Re: [android-developers] Display some part of HTML file in WebView
Why must all the content be on a single HTML page? If you really can't split it out, you could use some Javascript actions to hide/display sections of the HTML page when the user clicks the '>' button. However, the browser will still need to download and render the entire page when it loads, which may take a long time. The best solution would be to split the content into a number of pages.

Re: [android-developers] Market
If you don't mind a potential delay after publishing the other app,
then you could query Cyrket for its package name. For instance:
"http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.blau.android.richer/"; You will
get a 200 (success) response if the app is available on the market, or
a 404 (page not found) if not. Careful not to pound the Cyket server
with requests though, or you're likely to get blocked.
I think a more sensible solution would be to handle this yourself,
publish the app with the event triggering a simple "Coming soon"
dialog, then publish another version with the Intent added as soon as
the other app is on the market.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
Mike,
You've done half the work already, except there is a little confusion
on the purpose of the finishActivity() method. That method only works
the other way around (closing Activity B from Activity A).
What you need to do now is send a "result" back to Activity A telling
it to call finish(). See the "Returning a Result from a Screen"
section here:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#opennewscreen
In Activity B, you simple want to do:
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);
finish();
}
and in Activity A, you want to handle the result callback:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
finish();
}
}

[android-developers] Re: Email via seanhodges.co.uk website
Hello herrmie, What problems are you having? My post included some example code, is it this code you're having trouble with, or is it with adding the library to your project? Adding a library is relatively straightforward, although I admit I found it a bit confusing when I was starting off with Android programming. The steps are detailed here: http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#addexternallibrary If your project is open-source, send me a link to it and I'll download the source and try compiling from here. If not, perhaps you could give me an idea of what you're trying to achieve, and I'll look into putting together an example project for you.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
Mike,
You need to think of activities like a stack of cards. If you open
one, it will be placed on top of the pack. So if you want to open a
new activity from Activity B, just do use startActivity() as normal.
Activity A ---> Activity B --> Activity C
When you close Activity C, do a setResult(RESULT_CANCELLED) followed
by finish() just like I described for Activity B. Activity B will
handle the onActivityResult(), where you tell it to do the same thing
again. This way you are popping the activities off the stack
one-by-one, when there are no more activities left, the app will
close. To the user, this will appear as though Activity A and Activity
B had been closed when Activity C opened.
Your second option, which I did not think of before, is to add the
android:noHistory="true" attribute to Activity A and Activity B in
your AndroidManifest.xml. I don't have much experience with this flag,
but my understanding is that it will close the current activity when
another one is opened. The first approach will give you more control,
but this attribute might be simpler:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nohist
If I'm on the wrong track here, perhaps you could describe what you
want step-by-step. At the moment, it sounds like you want the stack to
have just one activity at all times.
Cheers,
Sean

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
OK Mike, so reading carefully through your explanation, it looks to me
that the process you want is this:
A -> B -> C -> A -> (app close)
Whilst what you are actually getting, with your current code, is this:
A -> B -> C -> A -> A -> B -> (unknown)
The complex nature of your activity jumping suggests that the code is
simply too complex. I suggest you replace all the onKeyDown() and
startActivityForResult() handling for something like this:
Activity A
// This code goes in the correct method of Activity A to start Activity B
startActivity(new Intent(ActivityA, ActivityB));
Activity B
// This code goes in the correct method of Activity B to start Activity C
startActivity(new Intent(ActivityB, ActivityC));
// Set the "noHistory" attribute for Activity B in your AndroidManifest.xml
...
Activity C
// This code goes in the correct method of Activity C to jump back to Activity A
finish();
The outcome should be the navigation you are looking for. Activity B
is skipped when you press the back button from Activity C. Pressing
the back button again will close the application.
Cheers,
Sean

Re: [android-developers] How does a "held" wakelock impact if the service dies with out releasing it?
Wake locks should be released when the object is garbage collected. See the finalize() method in the WakeLock subclass here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/os/PowerManager.java You will get a thrown exception in your logs if this occurs. So, as long as your Service is no longer referenced in memory (e.g. it has been destroyed), the wakelock should be released.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
OK I must have misinterpreted your description, so you want: A -> B -> C -> B -> (close) The simple answer is to move the android:noHistory="true" from the Activity B declaration, to the Activity A one.

Re: [android-developers] App disappears from the Market after upgrade
I can confirm the app is available on my Nexus One and the G1. It's also visible on the Android Market according to Cyrket: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/net.yuvalsharon.android.netsms/ If it has only disappeared on your phone, perhaps you need to turn the sync setting on so the Android Market data is updated?

Re: [android-developers] Passing Bitmap to Another Activity
Personally, I would avoid keeping that bitmap in memory, otherwise you
are consuming a lot of resources and run the risk of hitting
performance/heap space limitations.
You could use openFileOutput() and getCacheDir() to store the contents
of the Bitmap into a temporary file:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal
Then pass the path to the file via the Intent.putExtra() mechanism
that you are already using. This way you are only loading the bitmap
into memory when it is needed, solving your problem of transferring it
to the other activity, and ensuring the temporary file is cleaned up
if your app crashes before you have time to delete it.

Re: [android-developers] Re: MediaController in MediaPlayer
Abhi,
I'm not to sure about video playback outside of the VideoView, I
expect you have some substitute view to replace VideoView, as
MediaPlayer is just an interface to the back-end A/V component and
does no UI handling.
Looking at the MediaController, it accepts any view that implements
MediaPlayerControl:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/widget/MediaController.MediaPlayerControl.html
The only build-in view that does this in the Android SDK is the
VideoView - but you should be able to make your substitute view
implement MediaPlayerControl and use it in exactly the same way. You
will just need to handle the callback methods that are defined in
MediaPlayerControl.
e.g.
public class MyVideoCanvas
extends SurfaceView
implements MediaPlayerControl {
private MediaController ctlr;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
public void onCreate() {
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
ctlr = new MediaController(this);
ctlr.setMediaPlayer(this);
ctlr.setAnchorView(this);
ctlr.setEnabled(true);
ctlr.show();
}
public void pause() {
// This is an example of a callback method from MediaPlayerControl...
mediaPlayer.pause();
}
// ...
}
I haven't tested this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Re: [android-developers] How to send mms from my code
There is currently no public API available for sending MMS messages (that is, SMS messages with embedded multimedia content). You can launch the built-in MMS app along with your content using an Intent, as described here: http://jtribe.blogspot.com/2008/12/sending-mms-with-android.html. Alternatively, you could attempt to use the internal API to send your message, which is not obviously recommended but depending on your purposes it might be your preferred solution. For this, you'll need to investigate the inner workings of the MMS app in the Androidn source code: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Mms.git. 2010/6/7 Геннадий Дубина : > Hi, > > I need to send mms from my code? > > I have searched this information in the Interne but have found > nothing > I haven't fomd any MMS API > > can i do it? > > Maybe somebody knows external library? maybe it is possible from > native code? > > Thanks > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Can't grok Activity life cycle.
There are a lot of large successful games available on Android, and they all appear to be using the activity lifecycle without much problem. I would start by taking a look at how they work. My experience is that a game might "pause" when I leave to answer a phone call or run another app. When I return, the app offers to resume gameplay, and very occasionally an app will present a "loading" screen as the game is re-loading its state. The resume time never takes long (if it is needed at all), which suggests that most existing mobile games strive to ensure there is not a lot of game state to save. This is the common case, and the one mobile gamers are used to. The worst case for the end user is if the game developer has worked around the app lifecycle to keep their game in memory, and it causes incoming phone calls to become unresponsive or drop completely. Adhering to the activity lifecycle is the most efficient way to make sure that this doesn't happen. The key is not to think of the activity lifecycle as a set of unwieldy rules forcing you to do this and that... Think of it as the environment that you are working in. You are writing for a multitasking OS running on a range of devices, most of which have very limited resources, and many require real-time interruptions such as phone calls and text messages. The requirements on how you store and retrieve your state is how Android handles the resources, a bit like how OpenGL restricts how you handle textures to meet resources of the graphics card. I agree with Frank, Mark and String; if your onSaveInstanceInstanceState() is going to take a long time to complete, then you need to reduce the amount of data you are trying to store. Perhaps if you describe the kind of content you are dealing with (e.g. textures, 3D map data, etc), you might get some suggestions on how to handle them more efficiently within Android.

Re: [android-developers] Does specifying 2.2 exclude any devices?
An interesting question. Many of us outside the U.S. are still on 2.1, what's your app called? I'll check that I can see it on the market and run it without problems. Have you tested your app on older versions of Android? I have several emulator AVD's for testing against 1.5, 2.1, and 2.2. It would be useful to know how your app reacts on an older platform when the SD card installation option is turned on, is the setting just ignored?

Apologies, I didn't mean to sound patronising. I'm merely interested in this kind of topic, particularly with extreme conditions such as the game state handling that you described. I also found the earlier discussion between you and Mark very informative. > Oddly enough on BlackBerry I just have to pause my game when being put into > the background and I resume when put back into focus.

I agree losing the OpenGL context can involve a bit of work, I'm not familiar with BlackBerry development so I can't make comparisons. The Rokon game engine tends to handle this by wrapping a SurfaceView and keeping track of the context during the lifecycle: http://code.google.com/p/rokon/source/browse/trunk/OpenGL/GLSurfaceView.java?spec=svn25&r=25. This seems to be effective, but it does leave you wondering why the context lifetime isn't looked after for you by default. > > >> > > > On 6/8/2010 4:49 AM, Sean Hodges wrote: >> >> There are a lot of large successful games available on Android, and >> they all appear to be using the activity lifecycle without much >> problem.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to send mms from my code
Mike,
I can do a little more than that, I can give you a fully working unit
test with the phone number pre-populated in the From: field:
package com.seanhodges.sandbox;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.test.AndroidTestCase;
public class SendAnMMS extends AndroidTestCase {
public void testSendingAnMMS() throws Exception {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra("address", "12345");
intent.putExtra("sms_body", "See attached picture");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/thumbnails/0"));
intent.setType("image/png");
// This is added just so the AndroidTestCase launches the
activity
as expected, remove this line in your production code
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getContext().startActivity(intent);
}
}
If the referenced image does not exist, you should get a warning
pop-up when the SMS app launches.

Re: [android-developers] automatically turn on application
You might be able to use a Service and SensorListener for this, you will need to work out how often you would want to run the Service to poll the accelerometer for movement, as frequent polling will drain the battery. I've also read that the sensors can stop returning results when the screen goes to sleep (as a battery saving action), you might be able to get around this by applying a PARTIAL_WAKELOCK for each poll. Once you've detected sensor movement, a simple "startActivity(this, YourAppActivity.class);" should kick start your application.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How global is the app market?
I agree, it's a little tricky to use a Chinese language-only site when, like me, you are not able to read Chinese. I admit, it's completely my fault that I'm not multilingual, but there are many like me and it is a barrier for both sides. Also, even if I could navigate my way around the site, would the users of these app markets want their results filled with non-translated English apps? I've had a number of people email me offering to translate my app and put it on their markets, but unfortunately they only point me to their non-English site and I can't make head nor tail of it. I usually just avoid replying because I can't tell if what they are offering is legitimate. My suggestion to anyone wanting to successfully offer international app markets, app translations, and improve the global market for Android in general: Build an multi-language site explaining what you do, and advertise it prominently in your email correspondence. I'd be happy to help out in some small way (proof reading the English translations, etc), but I think significant effort will be required to make this a success.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to link to iTunes Store from Android application?
I don't think so, Apple haven't released an API for iTunes. You might be able to hack something together, pulling the files off the local hard disk, etc, but be prepared to fight against compatibility problems between versions.

Re: [android-developers] Uploading Adult apps.
Quite the contrary, I gave one example in an earlier post to this thread. I believe these app markets are relatively new, which is one of the main reasons they have had little exposure. Anyway, as Fred suggested this discussion would probably be more suited on the discuss list. On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 4:06 PM, John T.

Mike, In the way I described, you are correct.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to send mms from my code
I'm not sure of the best way to do this; but my understanding of the
mechanism is that the image is pulled from any given content provider
URI, just so long as the data returned can be understood by
BitmapFactory.decodeStream().
So a simple solution would be to create a new ContentProvider and pass
a corresponding URI to the Intent (instead of
"content://content/external/images/..."). You could then send a
drawable from your app using this custom content provider in the form
of a ByteArrayOutputStream.
A second approach would be to copy the drawable image to the external
storage, and use the URI format I gave in the example.

That's very odd. Have you tried the "package/type/name" format instead
of "package/id"?
Uri uri =
Uri.parse("android.resource://com.package.android.test/drawable/icon");
Or, alternatively, there might be something fishy with drawables
specifically, copy the image into the raw/ assets and try:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.package.android.test/raw/icon");
I'll give it a test tonight. As I said, the MMS ("Messaging") app
requires the image to be read in by BitmapFactory. It might be having
trouble with the fact the location is read-only... My guess is that
the Email/GMail apps reference the image file directly, and don't try
to transform it before sending.

You are still trying to fudge your existing code to work. You need to
take this back to the design stage and work out exactly what it is you
want to do.
Saying things like:
> i want Activity C to run on top of Activity B.
Indicates that you require both activities to be open and
communicating with each other simultaneously, this is not a sensible
approach as Activity B could disappear at any time for a variety of
reasons.
Re-think your approach in terms of a website. You don't have
"index.html" and "basket.html" open at the same time, you communicate
between them using a combination of the HTTP request-response pattern
(in Android terms: startActivityforResult-onActivityResult), and
storage solutions such as databases and user sessions (in Android
terms: content providers and extending android.app.Application).
Decouple your dependencies between activities, and this will become a
lot easier.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Avoiding GPL
You really need to consult a specialist on this subject, developers (including me) have a tendency to give out "I am not a lawyer" type advice, which is inherently unreliable. In the strategy you describe, I believe putting A and B in the same APK means you are distributing both components as a single piece of software. A person cannot modify and distribute B without either bundling closed-source A, or modifying the build process (which also violates the GPL). You would be closer to a solution if you created 2 separate APK's, as long as A and B are completely independent of each other. The nature of the GPL is that the authors *do not want* their code distributed in a closed-source solution, and this is exactly why it is so difficult to find a legal way to do it. If you want to mix licences; seek legal advice, and/or contact the authors about the possibility of a dual-licence solution.

If you need to integrate it with your app deeply so that you can't use the modified version without your app, then you need to open source the entire thing. IANAL but using a open source library in a closed source project without any modification should not provide any serious legal issues as long as everyone is properly credited and there is no stipulations in the license or on the creators website. I wouldn't recommend doing complex workarounds, because it just increases the amount of changes and dependencies between your app and the open source app, and shows that you were trying to circumvent things. Just do your best to not change it, and check the creators site to see if they sell alternate licenses that might server your needs better, if you do need to modify the source in certain ways.

This particular functionality belongs in the system layer, not user-space apps. Log an enhancement ticket on b.android.com, and consider writing a patch for the platform that provides the functionality in a privileged app, most likely "Settings.apk". However you decide to implement it, make sure the mechanism is not exposed via the public API, so regular apps cannot take advantage of it like yours used to. > > Thanks from Germany > Lars > > > On 16 Jun., 08:16, LeveloKment wrote: >> just a small "bump" ... with the hope someone can answer my question. >> >> On 8 Jun., 09:46, LeveloKment wrote: >> >> > Hello. >> >> > I provide a small tool called PatternControl via the market that give >> > the users the opportunity to temporary deactivate the Android "lock >> > pattern" for a definable amount of time.

Re: [android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
What Kostya said. When memory is critically low on the device, apps are killed outright to regain user control. Android was originally designed for mobile phones, and nobody wants to miss an incoming call because they have run out of memory. No notification is passed to the user, because well written apps should handle this themselves. Some will want to alert the user, others will want to carry on where they left off without bothering the user about the event. As a user, you can do the following: A) Contact the developers of Nimbuzz and explain the problem you are having. They have probably not benchmarked against such high load, and as a long-running service the app should really have a recovery process for when it is killed. An alarm manager could periodically check an "is logged in" flag, and automatically log the user back in if the background service was killed. B) Don't try to run so many tasks at once, or purchase a phone with more available memory (depending on your individual requirements).

Re: [android-developers] How To Override the “Back ” button so it doesn’t Finish() my Activity?
When the user presses the back button, the activity in the foreground
is stopped (and destroyed). This is what always happens, for all apps.
What you really want is to restore the state of your activity when it
is re-launched. See:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/app/Activity.html#SavingPersistentState
- the section includes some sample code to get you started.

I wouldn't say useless, the comment feed looks to be real-time, and therefore more up-to-date than Cyrket and other sites (based on what I've seen in my app listings). This would be useful for the early stages of an app, when the developer is trying to keep on top of the reviews coming in.

Re: [android-developers] Android IMEI with letter :O
Can you give an example? If you are detecting non-digits, perhaps they are dashes "-" separating the identifier components? Be careful when making assumptions on this value as not all Android devices are phones, and as far as I'm aware manufacturers could potentially pass anything back from a getDeviceId() call. Same goes for other functions, such as getLine1Number(), etc. On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 1:27 PM, sblantipodi wrote: > Hi all, > > after this code: > > TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager) > getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); > pin = mTelephonyMgr.getDeviceId(); > > the pin variable should contain the IMEI number of the phone, > on some phones it returns LETTER and DECIMAL, how it it possible? > > IMEI with letter? :o > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Sending and reveiving mails in emulator
Don't use the "Accounts & sync" settings to set up the Email app. Those settings are for the Google apps (GMail, Maps, Contacts, etc), not the Email app. Open the Email app and press the Menu button on your emulator, then select "Account settings". The "Server settings" section is at the bottom of the list.

I entered my email address and password into the Email app and clicked "Next", it successfully connected to my GMail account and displayed my inbox. I didn't need to click "Manual Setup" or change any server settings. My only suggestion is that you might have a firewall running on your PC that is blocking the emulator from accessing certain ports. Try turning any firewall software off on your machine as a test (and remember to check your router/switch settings too). If you are still having a problem then you might be looking at a bug, make sure you have the latest version of the emulator in case it has since been resolved. > > I think it could be a bug/issue that should be fixed...

If you believe you have discovered a bug/issue, you should report it. Go to http://b.android.com and log your issue there.
